I've had mine for about 8 months with a commute of 45mi each way. Range is spot on for my commute and I have a good buffer to get to/from. Mini's range is not over inflated. I've found it very reliable and usually get more than the stated EPA range. I'm fortunate to have free charging at work, and with Level 2 EV charging I'm at a full tank in about 4-5 hrs. Most of my miles have been F-R-E-E. The interior is very comfortable and my wife loves how fast the heated seats get up to temp. I would highly recommend the mini EV for someone with a commute of anything less than 100 mi. No more oil changes, no more gas pit stops, and a comfortable/fun ride to get you where you need to be.

Good review! I took the plunge last year and bought a Cooper SE, and I totally LOVE it....! In the "real world" it is fast..... (who really drives over 100 mph anyway?) In the city it is agile and feels great to drive. Couple of points I would make.... At first I too was worried about "range anxiety".... I do about 15,000 miles a year, but the number of days when I do much over 100 miles I can count on one hand, Rapid charging infrastructure here in the UK is now getting much better and 50kW chargers will get you to 80% in about 20 mins, but you MUST have at-home charging capability to make it work. The quoted range is VERY conservative and I can easily get 140 miles out of a charge if need be, and once got almost 160 miles being super careful. Weather makes a huge difference though, in winter with things like the aircon and heated seats on it drops dramatically. Worst range I have ever got was 110 miles. My advice is if you are thinking about going down the EV route take a test drive..... you will love it!

When I did 0-60 tests with the SE in the different modes, the Sport mode was about 1 second quicker than Mid.

We have a little Fiat 500e rated at 84 miles and love it! Don't let the short range scare you, but do be realistic about winter and all (about 25% drop in range). If it fits your driving needs these small EVs are a ton of fun!

Excellent video! Bought a Cooper SE a month ago and absolutely love it! Range totally fits our needs and it's a lot of fun to drive.

Nothing feels like driving a Mini it’s a unique feeling Period 😎 Peace

Tommy said, "On 110, this could take as much as a couple of days to fully charge." Potential customers, know that it takes only about 12 hours because most people don't use up 100% of the charge and then coast into their driveways.

FYI that's Rebel Green not British Racing Green :)

Another point in favor is the SE: when you price them out, the SE is only about $1000 more than an identically equipped gas Cooper S. And that’s without the tax incentives. You’ll easily make all that $1000 back in fuel and maintenance savings. I would just prefer closer to 150 miles range and a much much faster charger. And I’d like it in 4 door.

In 20 years there will only be 10% of current gasoline/diesel filling station in the US. This transition is happening and there is nothing you can do about it. I remember when we transitioned from regular gas to unleaded in 1975. By 1985 is was nearly impossible to find regular gas for your older automobile. What's the difference? Cars build after 1975 had catalytic converters and hardened valve seats. If you run unleaded gas in a car built before 1975 it is very likely you will have to have the heads redone about 4-5 times more often than if you could still find regular leaded gas.

This is a nice car, unfortunately the low range will be its biggest problem. Batteries age and give less range the older they get…. With an already low range yea….

That gives you piece of mind knowing you have the best of both technologies. Too bad, there is no hybrid Mini.

Which others online get as well. I have seen a 6.3 posted… I am fine with a “slow” 93 mph top end when I can take 15 mph S-curves at significantly over the posted speed (when it is safe to do so). Range: winter summer heat pump on to 67F/72F and 100% charge driving in Green mode; 125 on the guessometer. Spring fall w/o heat pump, 100% charge driving in Green+; 145 on guessometer. I drive 70 mph only a short distance, usually 65. Usually do 110ish with 20% left pulling into charger or driveway. iOS a fantastic rally or auto cross driving car, not a muscle/drag racing car… which is exactly what it was used for soon after it’s launch and for over 50 years. Similarly, it is not a point and drive plush and loping mid-size cross country touring car. Buy what you intend to use.

Petrol Minis can be pricey but you're getting a unique car with luxury options for that money. It really can't be compared to other cars, in my opinion. At over age 40, a Hundayai or VW sport is not for me. They feel more like a young single person's car. All engine, less creature comforts.

That is not eco despite the EV fans wishes. I think if they can make the battery packs serviceable, have better in home power generation this would be an amazing thing.

The California blackouts are predominantly fire preventive measures. The one I experience, while there, gave the residents well over a day to prepare before flipping the switch. California should be the exception, not the rule. A state with an incredible amount of daytime solar energy, more than can be used or stored at present. They're playing catch-up to store such energy. Give it time. The remainder of the Pacific Northwest, also with high EV adoption, doesn't have a problem. With the mass quantity of hydroelectric, other renewables and nuclear, the grid remains relatively clean and very reliable. ..... until the entire Western U.S. becomes a desert (fingers crossed it doesn't). But that's another story.

@ranig2848

Gas stations are also shut down on power outages - they also run on electricity. So, blackouts are an issue for everyone. If you have solar (which is now cheaper than grid power) you can also charge off solar - so impact is even less significant. As for reliability - In the last 2-3 years, EVs have shown to be more reliable than gas cars. Less moving parts, less wear on the brakes, no clutch, no oil changes... realistically, beyond windshield wipers and tires, they don't really need maintenance. The myth that EVs need more maintenance is - a myth (and part of the reason most dealerships avoid selling EVs since they know their service, which is their main $$$ makes, will be impacted considerably).

Never get the mini gas..so many issue lets not talk about the trash transmission haha

If they brought an EV version with a bigger capacity battery I would be interested. Yes 114 miles is enough 99 days out of 100 but it would be a nightmare to try to road trip it in America. If you have 80 miles between chargers you are ok but if something is wrong with the charger when you get there you are quite likely screwed. The answer of course is a Mini EV for day to day and keep another ICE vehicle for longer trips.

The other main issue not mentioned is resale. The batteries last around 10 years if you’re lucky.
